Red Missile

LTO Selection:

18:10 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 13f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

A comfortable winner over 1m4f at Catterick last month, POINT OF HONOUR can secure a double stepping up in distance. Pippa Brown negates all of the gelding's 4lb rise for that success with her 5lb claim and the eight-year-old is taken to get the better of Spirit Of Ash, who finished a staying-on second over an extended 1m4f at this track most recently. Let Her Loose completes the shortlist.

GRACES QUEST drops in grade and the dual course winner looks the way to go under an amateur enjoying a good run. A market move for the returning Ally Cay would be worth following, while Point of Honour could go well again.

Top of the list is last year's winner POINT OF HONOUR who scored in good style at Catterick two weeks ago and remains feasibly treated.

Quietly progressive in novice events and he should have more to offer in nurseries.

Grey Gray

2/1(+50%)
(1) Grey Gray 2/1, Found a small bit of progress to get off the mark at Lingfield (5f) in June. Not disgraced on nursery debut there (6f) subsequently and ought to benefit from a return to the minimum trip. Respected.
Didn't seem to get home over 6f last time and could resume her progress back in trip.

Celestial Flight

5
5/1(+17%)
(3) Celestial Flight 5/1, Built on debut promise when landing a 6f York seller in June. Ran below that level switched to a nursery at Pontefract (6f) since, though.
Disappointing on nursery debut at Pontefract and he needs to kick on again back in trip.
7
6th (7) Out Of Line (7/1 +13%)
Out Of Line

7
7/1(+13%)
(7) Out Of Line 7/1, Just poor form to date and has been handed a stiff-looking opening mark.

Naval Flight

20
20/1(-43%)
(8) Naval Flight 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden who failed to improve when eighth of 14 in nursery at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago.
Some ability at Beverley but she weakened on her nursery debut at Catterick last time.
LTO Selection:

18:45 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

In a contest lacking depth, it could be worth siding with CELESTIAL FLIGHT, who was a beaten favourite when sixth on his nursery debut at Pontefract last month. He kept on to score in selling company on his penultimate start at York, beating the reopposing Bazball into fourth, and he is fancied to confirm that form. Karl Burke's inmate has since won at Bath and is feared most off 7lb higher. Grey Gray heads the remainder.

BE HERE NOW took a step forward when third on his nursery debut over C&D last week and, with further progress possible, he's just about the most appealing candidate. Bath scorer Bazball is feared most, ahead of Grey Gray, who will be suited by a return to the minimum trip.

Preference is for BAZBALL, who got off the mark with a dominant display in a Bath nursery two weeks ago and is open to more progress.

(6) Consoling 0.62/1, Twice-raced filly. 8/1, second of 13 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) 46 days ago. Should get the longer trip and seems to have been found an excellent opportunity to open her account.
Has run well in both starts and the form has worked out well; extra furlong should suit.

Well held on Beverley debut; up 2f in trip and needs more.

Lady Of Time

7
7/1(+50%)
(7) Lady Of Time 7/1, Twice-raced filly. Sixth of 11 in maiden at Catterick (7f, good, 7/1) 9 days ago, not knocked about. Has the potential for better but looks more of a handicap type.
Sixth in both starts last month, may do better when tackling nurseries after this.
LTO Selection:

19:20 Musselburgh Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

CONSOLING built on her debut to finish a creditable second over 6f at Carlisle in June and a reproduction of that effort can see her firmly in the picture. Ollie Pears' filly kept on well on that occasion and shaped as though she could benefit from a stiffer stamina test here. Mister Daydream was a well-beaten favourite on his racecourse bow at Beverley in June and is fancied to improve, while Lady Of Time looks best of the rest.

CONSOLING improved from her debut when runner-up at Carlisle and, with the longer trip likely to suit, she's expected to open her account in a weak race. Mister Daydream could prove a different proposition to his debut, so he's worth a mention and Nina Rapida is an interesting newcomer for a stable that has been amongst the winners lately.

This looks a good opportunity for CONSOLING. She has already shown more than enough in two starts to be able to win a race like this.

Poor form in her four starts and not easily recommended.
LTO Selection:

19:50 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

BONITO CAVALO was a very good second over 5f at Ayr on Monday and he's fancied to go one better here. Jim Goldie's charge is likely to enjoy this step back up to 7f after shaping as if the extra yardage would suit on that occasion. The Gay Blade looks the biggest danger after a decent third over 6f at Hamilton, while Willing To Please should be taken seriously back at this trip.

BONITO CAVALO was beaten only by a relatively unexposed sort at Ayr on Monday and has a good chance of finally breaking his duck. Without Delay, The Gay Blade and Willing To Please make up the shortlist.

In an unappealing betting event the tentative vote goes to THE GAY BLADE on the back of his solid third at Hamilton two weeks ago.

Better than ever the last twice but ground slower than good would be a major negative.

Yet to fire this season but on a dangerous mark; something to prove on slower than good.
LTO Selection:

20:20 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Never Dark was a gutsy winner over 5f at Wolverhampton and he appears primed to offer another bold bid. However, having been raised 5lb in the ratings for that head success, he may be susceptible to some better treated rivals like ONLY SPOOFING. The veteran was just touched off over 5f at Bellewstown last time and a repeat of that effort would see him take the beating off just 1lb higher in the ratings. Ready Freddie Go should also be considered.

ONLY SPOOFING signalled he's ready to strike again soon when runner-up at Bellewstown last month, so he's selected to land this race for a second year running. Resilience went pretty close over C&D on his penultimate start and is better judged on that form having been left poorly placed when well held at York last time. Ready Freddie Go arrives at the top of his game and completes the shortlist.

Last year's winner ONLY SPOOFING (nap) ran well at Bellewstown last time and can enhance his fine record over C&D.

(7) Hot Scoop 11/1, 8/1, 5½ lengths sixth of 9 to Foreseeable Future in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to soft) 7 days ago.
On a good mark and won't mind rain; stall 1 not ideal for a prominent racer though.
LTO Selection:

20:50 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

BOROUGH was a facile winner over 5f at Ayr recently and this looks a good opportunity to build on that success. Iain Jardine's runner scored by three and a quarter lengths on that occasion and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to stop him. Foreseeable Future is also a last time out winner after scoring over 5f at Thirsk and he isn't ruled out, while John Kirkup heads the remainder.

FORESEEABLE FUTURE resumed winning ways in straightforward fashion at Thirsk last week and this looks another good opportunity. Borough finally broke his duck at Ayr 11 days ago, but he did so in stylish fashion so is feared most under a penalty, with John Kirkup best of the others.

Foreseeable Future and BOROUGH are ahead of the handicapper and the latter can follow up his recent impressive Ayr success.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
